Fantastic views, music, service, food but plan extra time to find exact boarding spot

Loved the cruise. BUT it was very difficult to find the exact spot for boarding - the map gives a general idea but with lots of boats along the Seine it was impossible to figure out which direction to go once off the bridge. I spent a lot of time, energy and anxiety (and eventually got directions from at the restaurant La Pause Parisienne which is alongside the river). Once boarding everything was fabulous - views, music, service, and as advertised, food and drink.

Exceeded expectations

The food was exquisite. The staff was immaculately attentive and well-trained. The scenery along the Seine was lovely. All in all, wonderful.

I feel that during the cruise a few notes on the sights we were passing by might have helpful.
